Safety
Airbags
System designed to maximise the safety of the
occupants (with the exception of the rear centrepassenger) in the event of violent collisions.
The airbags supplement the action of the force-
limiting seat belts (with the exception of the centre rear passenger).
If a collision occurs, the electronic detectors record and analyse the front and side impacts sustained in the impact detection zones:
- in the case of a serious impact, the airbagsare deployed instantly and contribute
towards better protection of the occupants
of the vehicle
(with the exception of the rear centre passenger); immediately after theimpact, the airbags deflate rapidly so that
they do not hinder visibility or the exit of the
occupants,
- in the case of a minor or rear impact
or in cer tain roll-over conditions, the
airbags will not be deployed; the seat belt
alone contributes towards ensuring your protection in these situations.
The airbags do not operate when the ignition is switched off.
This equipment will only deploy once.
If a second impact occurs (during thesame or a subsequent accident), theairbag will not be deployed again.
Deployment of the airbag(s) is accompanied by a slight emission of smoke and a noise, due to theactivation of the pyrotechnic cartridgeincorporated in the system.This smoke is not harmful, but sensitiveindividuals may experience slight irritation.
The noise of the detonation may result in a slight loss of hearing for a shorttime.

Front airbags


Deployment

The airbags are deployed simultaneously, unless
the passenger's front airbag is deactivated, in the event of a serious front impact to all or part of thefront impact zone A, in the longitudinal centreline
of the vehicle on a horizontal plane and directedfrom the front to the rear of the vehicle.
The front airbag inflates between the thorax andhead of the front occupant of the vehicle and thesteering wheel, driver's side, and the dashboard,passenger's side to cushion their for ward movement.
System which protects the driver and frontpassenger in the event of a serious front impact
in order to limit the risk of injury to the head and
thorax.
The driver's airbag is fitted in the centre of the steering wheel; the front passenger's airbag isfitted in the dashboard above the glove box.

Safety
Sit in a normal upright position. Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt.
Do not leave anything between theoccupants and the airbags (a child, pet, object...). This could hamper the operation of the airbags or injure the occupants. After an accident or if the vehicle has beenstolen or broken into, have the airbagsystems checked. All work on the airbag system must be carried out by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Even if all of the precautions mentionedare obser ved, a risk of injury or of minor burns to the head, chest or arms when an airbag is deployed cannot be ruled out. Thebag inflates almost instantly (within a fewmilliseconds) then deflates within the same
time discharging the hot gas via openings provided for this purpose.
Lateral airbags
Use only approved covers on the seats, compatible with the deployment the lateralairbags. For information on the range of seatcovers suitable for your vehicle, you can contact a PEUGEOT dealer. Refer to the "Accessories" section.Do not fix or attach anything to the seatbacks (clothing...). This could cause injuryto the chest or arms if the lateral airbag isdeployed.Do not sit with the upper par t of the body anynearer to the door than necessary.



Front airbags

Do not drive holding the steering wheel by itsspokes or resting your hands on the centre part of the wheel.
Passengers must not place their feet on thedashboard.
If possible, do not smoke as deployment of the airbags can cause burns or the risk of injury from a cigarette or pipe.
Never remove or pierce the steering wheel or hit it violently.

Curtain airbags
Do not fix or attach anything to the roof. This
could cause injury to the head if the cur tain airbag is deployed.If fitted on your vehicle, do not remove thegrab handles installed on the roof, they play a part in securing the cur tain airbags.
For the airbags to be fully effective, observe the following safety rules:

JBL EQUIPMENT
The Hi-Fi system is a 5.1 system developed by PEUGEOT in conjunction with JBL.

4 two-wa
y speaker kits, separated by an active fi lter, are fi tted at front andrear.
These are based on a fabric dome tweeter deliverin
g stable and balanced
treble reproduction and a 50W RMS neodymium magnet inverted motor medium-woofer possessing a very high output of bass frequencies.
The central line in the dashboard improves reproduction o
f the musicalscene, putting the listener in a situation that realistically reproduces theoriginal musical recording.
The bass unit located in the boot carries a 150W tri
ple-coil true subwoofer
in an optimised space, giving depth and impact to the bass ranges.
This set of speakers is controlled b
y a 10-way 500W RMS 2 ohm
amplifi er, using advanced surround sound and sound distribution handling, so as to deliver optimum performance both for the driver and for
the passengers in the vehicle.

10AUDIO SETTINGS
They are accessible by the MUSICbutton in the control panel or by a longpress on RADIO
or MEDIAaccording to
the source in use.

The audio settings ( Equalizer, rBass , Trebleand Loudness) are
different and independent for each sound source.
The settings
for distribution and balance are common to all sources. The distribution
(or spatialisation using the Arkamys©system) of sound
is an audio process that allows the audio quality to be adapted to the
number of listeners in the vehicle.
On-board audio: Arkamys©Sound Staging.
With Sound Staging, the driver and passengers are immersed in an"audio scene" recreating the natural atmosphere of an auditorium:
truly a part of the scene and its surroundings.
This new sensation is made possible b
y software in the audio system
which processes the digital signals from the media players (radio, CD, MP3…) without changing the audio settings. This processingtakes account of the characteristics of the passenger compartment toproduce optimum results.

The Arkamys© software installed in your audio system processes©
the digital signal from the media players (radio, CD, MP3, ...) andrecreates a natural musical scene, with harmonious placement of
instruments and voices in the space in front of passengers, level with
the windscreen.
